Rewrote the Ending

You rewrote the ending, I was the sad song

I had a notebook full of goodbyes
I had a playlist for the rain
I had a way of getting lonely
In a crowded room again
Friends would say, "She's just dramatic"
Mama said, "She'll grow out of it"
I was halfway out the story
I had packed the bag and split

Everybody said she's done for
Everybody knew the plot
Every book I read had one way out
You said, "Well, maybe not"

I was the girl in the sad song
Walking to the water all alone
Then you showed up with your headlights on
You rewrote the ending, I was the sad song

The sad song
Not anymore

Now there's coffee on the counter
There's a dog I didn't plan
There's a Sunday with the windows
And a Monday with your hand
I still cry at every movie
I still write it all in ink
But the chapter ends with laughing
More than anybody thinks

Everybody said she's done for
Everybody knew the plot
Every book I read had one way out
You said, "Well, maybe not"

I was the girl in the sad song
Walking to the water all alone
Then you showed up with your headlights on
You rewrote the ending, I was the sad song

I was supposed to drown
I was supposed to go
I was supposed to be a poem
That the teacher made them know
But you pulled the car over
Now I'm writing it slow

I was the girl in the sad song
Walking to the water all alone
Then you showed up with your headlights on
You rewrote the ending, I was the sad song

I was the girl in the sad song

Not anymore
